The most offensive part of all this is that Miley Cyrus is suddenly considered the most controversial performer in music,The VMAs have really made strides since the days of Guns N Roses, Madonna, and Marilyn Manson.

megarian:houstondragon: They should check out her Wrecking Ball video. Nothing says empowered female like her grinding her naked ass on a large metal ball, and giving fellatio lessons to a sledgehammer.

She'd be a lot cuter, and my boner would be less confused if she didn't look like Bieber with tits.

Oh that video can't be that bad.

*youtube*

Okay, so did I um...I feel weird.

It must have taken weeks to film that video, what with the crew busting up laughing every few minutes.

Is that a real screenshot from the actual performance in question, or something else?

I don't see how this performance is much different from Madonna or others, as has been mentioned. I'm more surprised to think that the Smith family would all be looking that dismayed. Is Miley a good family friend and playmate to Smith's kids, so this is somehow shocking to them to see? Who hasn't watched a young neighbour girl bloom? Aren't all women secretly whores deep down? Have I gone too far with this?

Meh. People weep and rend their garments over this Disney-engineered Barbie doll shaking her butt and completely miss the real outrage - the crappy, soulless, corporate garbage MTV peddles as music. Her ass notwithstanding, the girl deserves to be broken on the wheel on the basis of her father's musical crimes alone . . .

They were looking at Lady Gaga when that picture was taken. You can see her in the box in the lower right hand corner of the picture. But for some reason, that picture finds its way into every thread about the Miley & foam finger.

"My daughter was even surprised of Slutty Cyrus, and she's the biggest slut in our family. I mean, there's the sluttiest sluts you can imagine, and then there's my daughter; she'd put Mr. Slave up her ass even quicker than he put Paris Hilton up his. And even she was shocked by ol Slutty Cyrus."

AverageAmericanGuy:RobertBruce: I didn't watch. Was it that much more "shocking" than Madonna in the 80's? Ridiculous pearl clutching either way, then and now.

It was a whole lot more offensive. Offensive in its unabashed badness.

I don't/didn't watch the VMAs, but after the outcry I did go watch the aforementioned bit. I found it to be crude at times, mostly involving the gestures using the foam finger. I dislike twerking in general, this was no different. I usually enjoy seeing an attractive women using her tongue, but Miley looked like a fish that had been snagged with a treble hook in her gills.

Having said that, I didn't see anything I'd really call offensive other than how terrible the whole thing was aka "its unabashed badness."

One person said they were subjected to 4 minutes of it or whatever. No you weren't. You could've turned the channel. That's like someone complaining about how horrible the food is at an eatery, but they ate all the food anyways.

Also, I read through a few and a lot of them mentioned "it was like I was watching child porn." She's 18. Get over yourselves.

Be outraged about something that's serious and not some girl on television who's just trying to piss off daddy.

She's just "acting out" because of the abuse she's suffered on the casting couches of numerous producers and directors. It's kind of like Mos Eisley Spaceport, but in Hollywood. I'm not even going to mention her father, nope, not going there.
